FE501 top end?

Does anyone know where I can get the cylinder head (or really just the rockers and camshaft assembly) for a 2001 FE501?

Or any compatable sets of these parts would work as I beleive these particular parts are interchangeable from like years 450, 470, and 550's right? Maybe?

Specifically will a 1996 FE501cylinder head fit on a 2001 FE501 engine?

no a 1996 head won't fit a 2001. you can use any head including a 400 that is 2001 to 2008, that is how much scope you have!

why would you ask for a head when you need a camshaft and assembly?

I have rockers (used) rocker shafts are the first pre 2004 part unavailable so you'll have to turn yours over or have something made. I have a 55 cam here. you really do need a 55 cam with that or be prepared to change the timing of any other cam like the 53 or 08 with slots in the cam sprocket.

you may want to go to steel sprocket and later ADC while you're there. again I have 53s, no 08s but I do have the later ADCs and sprockets (new though).

Rick has a lot of Husaberg parts, years of experience with the make, and is located in Portland, OR. I've gotten parts from him overnight. Also, he may have some older used parts availible.

I noticed you are in Boise - have you checked with Motosports in Garden city? Bob used to sell (and personally ride) Husabergs.

why would you ask for a head when you need a camshaft and assembly? Because I'm daft? :(

OK, so how much for the two(2) rockers and the complete 55 camshaft shipped to the US?
